Description: FUEL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING FOLYALKYL AND POLY(OXYALKY ENE) AROMATIC ESTERS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention This invention relates to polyal yl and poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters and to fuel compositions containing poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters. More particularly, this invention relates to polyalkyl and poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters which are substituted on the aromatic moiety and to the use of such compounds in fuel compositions to prevent and control engine deposits. Description of the Related Art it is well known that automobile engines tend to form deposits on the surface of engine components, such as carburetor ports, throttle bodies, fuel injectors, intake ports and intake valves, due to the oxidation and polymerization of hydrocarbon fuel. These deposits, even when present in relatively minor amounts, often cause noticeable driveability problems, such as stalling and poor acceleration. Moreover, engine deposits can significantly increase an automobile's fuel consumption and production of exhaust pollutants. Therefore, the development of effective fuel detergents or "deposit control" additives to prevent or control such deposits is of considerable importance and numerous such materials are known in the art. For example, aliphatic hydrocarbon-substituted phenols are known to reduce engine deposits when used in fuel compositions. U.S. Patent No. 3,849,085, issued November 19, 1974 to Kreuz et al., discloses a motor fuel composition comprising a mixture of hydrocarbons in the gasoline boiling range containing about 0.01 to 0.25 volume percent of a high molecular weight aliphatic hydrocarbon-substituted phenol in which the aliphatic hydrocarbon radical has an average molecular weight in the range of about 500 to 3,500. This patent teaches that gasoline compositions containing minor amounts of an aliphatic hydrocarbon-substituted phenol not only prevent or inhibit the formation of intake valve and port deposits in a gasoline engine, but also enhance the performance of the fuel composition in engines designed to operate at higher operating temperatures with a minimum of decomposition and deposit formation in the manifold of the engine. Similarly, U.S. Patent No. 4,134,846, issued January 16, 1979 to Machleder et al., discloses a fuel additive composition comprising a mixture of (1) the reaction product of an aliphatic hydrocarbon-substituted phenol, epichlorohydrin and a primary or secondary mono- or polyamine, and (2) a polyalkylene phenol. This patent teaches that such compositions show excellent carburetor, induction system and combustion chamber detergency and, in addition, provide effective rust inhibition when used in hydrocarbon fuels at low concentrations. Amino phenols are also known to function as detergents/dispersants, antioxidants and anti-corrosion agents when used in fuel compositions. U.S. Patent No. 4,320,021, issued March 16, 1982 to R. M. Lange, for example, discloses amino phenols having at least one substantially saturated hydrocarbon-based substituent of at least 30 carbon atoms. The amino phenols of this patent are taught to impart useful and desirable properties to oil-based lubricants and normally liquid fuels. Similar amino phenols are disclosed in related U.S. Patent No. 4,320,020, issued March 16, 1982 to R. M. Lange. Similarly, U.S. Patent No. 3,149,933, issued September 22, 1964 to K. Ley et al., discloses hydrocarbon-substituted amino phenols as stabilizers for liquid fuels. U.S. Patent No. 4,386,939, issued June 7, 1983 to R. M. Lange, discloses nitrogen-containing compositions prepared by reacting an amino phenol with at least one 3- or 4-membered ring heterocyclic compound in which the hetero atom is a single oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atom, such as ethylene oxide. The nitrogen-containing compositions of this patent are taught to be useful as additives for lubricants and fuels. Nitro phenols have also been employed as fuel additives. For example, U.S. Patent No. 4,347,148, issued August 31, 1982 to K. E. Davis, discloses nitro phenols containing at least one aliphatic substituent having at least about 40 carbon atoms. The nitro phenols of this patent are taught to be useful as detergents, dispersants, antioxidants and demulsifiers for lubricating oil and fuel compositions. Similarly, U.S. Patent No. 3,434,814, issued March 25, 1969 to M. Dubeck et al., discloses a liquid hydrocarbon fuel composition containing a major quantity of a liquid hydrocarbon of the gasoline boiling range and a minor amount sufficient to reduce exhaust emissions and engine deposits of an aromatic nitro compound having an alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkanoyloxy, alkoxy, hydroxy or halogen substituent. More recently, certain poly(oxyalkylene) esters have been shown to reduce engine deposits when used in fuel compositions. U.S. Patent No. 5,211,721, issued May 18, 1993 to R. L. Sung et al., for example, discloses an oil soluble polyether additive comprising the reaction product of a polyether polyol with an acid represented by the formula RCOOH in which R is a hydrocarbyl radical having 6 to 27 carbon atoms. The poly(oxyalkylene) ester compounds of this patent are taught to be useful for inhibiting carbonaceous deposit formation, motor fuel hazing, and as ORI inhibitors when employed as soluble additives in motor fuel compositions. Poly(oxyalkylene) esters of amino- and nitrobenzoic acids are also known in the art. For example, U.S. Patent No. 2,714,607, issued August 2, 1955 to M. Matter, discloses polyethoxy esters of aminobenzoic acids, nitrobenzoic acids and other isocyclic acids. These polyethoxy esters are taught to have excellent pharmacological properties and to be useful as anesthetics, spasmolytics, analeptics and bacteriostatics. U.S. Patent Nos. 2,714,608; 2,714,609; and 2,714,610, all issued to M. Matter, disclose similar polyethoxy esters. Similarly, U.S. Patent No. 5,090,914, issued February 25, 1992 to D. T. Reardan et al., discloses poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic compounds having an amino or hydrazinocarbony1 substituent on the aromatic moiety and an ester, amide, carbamate, urea or ether linking group between the aromatic moiety and the poly(oxyalkylene) moiety. These compounds are taught to be useful for modifying macromolecular species such as proteins and enzymes. U.S. Patent Nos. 5,081,295; 5,103,039; and 5,157,099, all issued to D. T. Reardan et al. , disclose similar poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic compounds. U.S. Patent No. 4,328,322, issued September 22, 1980 to R. c. Baron, discloses amino- and nitrobenzoate esters of oligomeric polyols, such as poly(ethylene) glycol. These materials are used in the production of synthetic polymers by reaction with a polyisocyanate. Similar materials are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,515,981, issued May 7, 1985 to K. Otani et al., and in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,039,775 and 5,086,153, both issued to Y. Oyaizu. in addition, U.S. Patent No. 4;231,759, issued November 4, 1980 to Udelhofen et al., discloses a fuel additive composition comprising the Mannich condensation product of (1) a high molecular weight alkyl-substituted hydroxyaromatic compound wherein the alkyl group has a number average molecular weight of about 600 to about 3,000, (2) an amine, and (3) an aldehyde. This patent teaches that such Mannich condensation products provide carburetor cleanliness when employed alone, and intake valve cleanliness when employed in combination with a hydrocarbon carrier fluid. U.S. Patent No. 4,859,210, issued August 22, 1989 to Franz et al., discloses fuel compositions containing (1) one or more polybutyl or polyisobutyl alcohols wherein the polybutyl or polyisobutyl group has a number average molecular weight of 324 to 3,000, or (2) a poly(alkoxylate) of the polybutyl or polyisobutyl alcohol, or (3) a carboxylate ester of the polybutyl or polyisobutyl alcohol. This patent further teaches that when the fuel composition contains an ester of a polybutyl or polyisobutyl alcohol, the ester-forming acid group may be derived from saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic or aromatic, acyclic or cyclic mono- or polycarboxylic acids. U.S. Patent No. 3,285,855, issued November 15, 1966 to Dexter et al., discloses alkyl esters of dialkyl hydroxybenzoic and hydroxyphenylalkanoic acids wherein the ester moiety contains from 6 to 30 carbon atoms. This patent teaches that such esters are useful for stabilizing polypropylene and other organic material normally subject to oxidative deterioration. Similar alkyl esters containing hindered dialkyl hydroxyphenyl groups are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,196,565, which issued March 23, 1993 to Ross. U.S. Patent No. 5,196,142, issued March 23, 1993 to Mollet et al., discloses alkyl esters of hydroxyphenyl carboxylic acids wherein the ester moiety may contain up to 23 carbon atoms. This patent teaches that such compounds are useful as antioxidants for stabilizing emulsion-polymerized polymers. it has now been discovered that certain polyalkyl and poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters which are substituted on the aromatic moiety are surprisingly useful for reducing engine deposits, especially intake valve deposits, when employed as fuel additives in fuel compositions.

This reaction is typically conducted by contacting the alcohol V with about 0.25 to about 1.5 molar equivalents of aromatic carboxylic acid IV in the presence of an acidic catalyst at a temperature in the range of 70°C to about 160°C for about 0.5 to about 48 hours. Suitable acid catalysts for this reaction include, for example, p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, sulfuric acid and the like. The reaction may be conducted in the presence or absence of an inert solvent, such as toluene, xylene and the like.

Alternatively, the polyalkyl and poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters of formula III may be prepared by reacting the alcohol V with an acid halide derived from aromatic carboxylic acid IV, such as an acid chloride or acid bromide. Generally, the carboxylic acid moiety of IV may be converted into an acyl halide moiety by contacting IV with an inorganic acid halide, such as thionyl chloride, phosphorous trichloride, phosphorous tribromide, or phosphorous pentachloride; or with oxalyl chloride. Typically, this reaction will be conducted using about 1 to 5 molar equivalents of the inorganic acid halide or oxalyl chloride, either neat or in an inert solvent, such as diethyl ether, at a temperature in the range of about 20°C to about 80°C for about 1 to about 48 hours. A catalyst, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, may also be used in this reaction. Reaction of the acid halide derived from IV with the alcohol v provides a polyalkyl or poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic ester of formula III.

In general, the polyalkyl substituent on the polyalkyl alcohols of formula V and the resulting polyalkyl aromatic esters of the present invention will have an average molecular weight in the range of about 450 to 5,000, preferably about 500 to 5,000, more preferably about 500 to 3,000, and most preferably about 600 to 2,000. The polyalkyl substituent on the polyalkyl alcohols employed in the invention may be generally derived from polyolefins which are polymers or copolymers of mono-olefins, particularly 1-mono-olefins, such as ethylene, propylene, butylene, and the like. Preferably, the mono-olefin employed will have 2 to about 24 carbon atoms, and more preferably, about 3 to 12 carbon atoms. More preferred mono-olefins include propylene, butylene, particularly isobutylene, 1-octene and 1-decene. Polyolefins prepared from such mono-olefins include polypropylene, polybutene, especially polyisobutene, and the polyalphaolefins produced from 1-octene and 1-decene. The preferred polyisobutenes used to prepare the presently employed polyalkyl alcohols are polyisobutenes which comprise at least about 20% of the more reactive methylvinylidene isomer, preferably at least 50%, and more preferably at least 70%. Suitable polyisobutenes include those prepared using BF 3 catalysts. The preparation of such polyisobutenes in which the methylvinylidene isomer comprises a high percentage of the total composition is described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,152,499 and 4,605,808. Such polyisobutenes, known as "reactive" polyisobutenes, yield high molecular weight alcohols in which the hydroxyl group is at or near the end of the hydrocarbon chain. Examples of suitable polyisobutenes having a high alkylvinylidene content include Ultravis 30, a polyisobutene having a molecular weight of about 1300 and a methylvinylidene content of about 74%, and Ultravis 10, a polyisobutene having a molecular weight of about 950 and a methylvinylidene content of about 76%, both available from British Petroleum. The polyalkyl alcohols may be prepared from the corresponding olefins by conventional procedures. Such procedures include hydration of the double bond to give an alcohol. Suitable procedures for preparing such long-chain alcohols are described in I. T. Harrison and S. Harrison, Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods , Wiley-Interscience, New York (1971), pp. 119-122, as well as in U.S. Patent NOS. 5,055,607 and 4,859,210.

Metal salt VI is generally not isolated, but is reacted in situ with alkylene oxide VII to provide, after neutralization, the poly(oxyalkylene) alcohol V. This polymerization reaction is typically conducted in a substantially anhydrous inert solvent at a temperature of about 30°C to about 150 β C for about 2 to about 120 hours. Suitable solvents for this reaction, include toluene, xylene and the like. Typically, the reaction is conducted at a pressure sufficient to contain the reactants and the solvent, preferably at atmospheric or ambient pressure. The amount of alkylene oxide employed in this reaction will generally depend on the number of oxyalkylene units desired in the product. Typically, the molar ratio of alkylene oxide VII to metal salt VI will range from about 1:1 to 100:1, preferably from 5:1 to about 100:1, more preferably from 8:1 to 50:1, and most preferably from 10:1 to 30:1. Alkylene oxides suitable for use in this polymerization reaction include, for example, ethylene oxide; propylene oxide; butylene oxides, such as 1,2-butylene oxide (1,2-epoxybutane) and 2,3-butylene oxide (2,3-epoxybutane) ; pentylene oxides; hexylene oxides; octylene oxides and the like. Preferred alkylene oxides are propylene oxide and 1,2-butylene oxide. in the polymerization reaction, a single type of alkylene oxide may be employed, e.g., propylene oxide, in which case the product is a homopolymer, e.g., a poly(oxypropylene) polymer. Copolymers are equally satisfactory and random copolymers can be prepared by contacting metal salt VI with a mixture of alkylene oxides, such as a mixture of propylene oxide and 1,2-butylene oxide, under polymerization conditions. Copolymers containing blocks of oxyalkylene units are also suitable for use in this invention. Block copolymers can be prepared by contacting metal salt VI with first one alkylene oxide, then others in any order, or repetitively, under polymerization conditions. Poly(oxyalkylene) copolymers prepared by terminating or capping the poly(oxyalkylene) moiety with 1 to ιo oxyethylene units, preferably 2 to 5 oxyethylene units, are particularly useful in the present invention, since these copolymers have been found to be more readily esterified than those having an alkyl branch in the terminal oxyalkylene unit. These copolymers may be prepared by contacting metal salt IV with an alkylene oxide of formula VII, such as 1,2-butylene oxide or propylene oxide, under polymerization conditions and then capping or terminating the resulting block of oxyalkylene units with oxyethylene units by adding ethylene oxide. The poly(oxyalkylene) alcohol V may also be prepared by living or immortal polymerization as described by S. Inoue and T. Aida in Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering, Second Edition, Supplemental Volume, J. Wiley and Sons, New York, pages 412-420 (1989) . These procedures are especially useful for preparing poly(oxyalkylene) alcohols of formula V in which R 3 and R 4 are both alkyl groups. As noted above, the alkoxide or phenoxide metal salt VI used in the above procedures is generally derived from the corresponding hydroxy compound, R 12 OH. Suitable hydroxy compounds include straight- or branched-chain aliphatic alcohols having 1 to about 100 carbon atoms and phenols having the formula: wherein R 13 is an alkyl group having 1 to about 100 carbon atoms and R 1 is hydrogen; or R 13 and R 1 are both alkyl groups, each independently containing 1 to about 50 carbon atoms. Representative examples of straight- or branched-chain aliphatic alcohols suitable for use in this invention include, but are not limited to, n-butanol; isobutanol; sec-butanol; t-butanol; n-pentanol; n-hexanol; n-heptanol; n-octanol; isooctanol; n-nonanol; n-decanol; n-dodecanol; n-hexadecanol (cetyl alcohol) ; n-octadecanol (stearyl alcohol) ; alcohols derived from linear C 10 to C 30 alpha olefins and mixtures thereof; and alcohols derived from polymers of C^ to C 6 olefins, such as alcohols derived from polypropylene and polybutene, including polypropylene alcohols having 9 to about 100 carbon atoms and polybutylene alcohols having 12 to about 100 carbon atoms. Preferred straight- or branched-chain aliphatic alcohols will contain 1 to about 30 carbon atoms, more preferably 2 to about 24 carbon atoms, and most preferably 4 to 12 carbon atoms. Particularly preferred aliphatic alcohols are butanols. The phenols of formula VIII may be monoalkyl-substituted phenols or dialkyl-substituted phenols. Monoalkyl- substituted phenols are preferred, especially monoalkylphenols having an alkyl substituent in the para position. Preferably, the alkyl group of the alkyIphenol will contain 1 to about 30 carbon atoms, more preferably 2 to 24 carbon atoms, and most preferably 4 to 12 carbon atoms. Representative examples of phenols suitable for use in this invention include, but are not limited to, phenol, methyIphenol, dimethyIphenol, ethyIphenol, butyIphenol, octyIphenol, decyIphenol, dodecyIphenol, tetradecyIphenol, hexadecyIphenol, octadecyIphenol, eicosyIphenol, tetracosyIphenol, hexacosyIphenol, triacontylphenol and the like. Also, mixtures of alkylphenols may be employed, such as a mixture of C 1 -C 18 alkylphenols, a mixture of C 18 -C 24 alkylphenols, a mixture of C 20 -C 24 alkylphenols, or a mixture of C 16 -C 26 alkylphenols. Particularly preferred alkylphenols are prepared by alkylating phenol with polymers or oligomers of C 3 to C 6 olefins, such as polypropylene or polybutene. These polymers typically contain 8 to about 100 carbon atoms, preferably 10 to 30 carbon atoms. An especially preferred aIkyIphenol is prepared by alkylating phenol with a propylene polymer having an average of four units. This polymer has the common name of propylene tetramer and is commercially available. The poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters of formula I wherein R j is hydrogen, i.e., compounds having the formula: wherein A j , R j -R , n and x are as defined above, may be prepared from compounds of formula III wherein R 12 is a labile hydrocarbyl group, such as a benzyl or t-butyl group, by removing the hydrocarbyl group under appropriate conditions to provide a hydroxyl group. For example, compounds of formula III where R 12 represents a benzyl group may be prepared by employing a metal salt VI derived from benzyl alcohol in the above-described synthetic procedures. Cleavage of the benzyl ether using conventional hydrogenolysis procedures then provides a compound of formula IX. Other labile hydrocarbyl groups, such as a t-butyl group, may be similarly employed for those compounds having functional groups that are not compatible with hydrogenolysis conditions, such as nitro groups. t-Butyl ethers may be cleaved under acidic conditions using, for example, trifluoroacetic acid. The poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters of formula I wherein R5 is an acyl group, i.e., compounds having the formula: ) n -OR 15 (X) wherein A j , R j -R 4 , n and x are as defined above and R 15 is an acyl group having the formula: wherein A 2 , Rg-Rg and y are as defined above, may be synthesized from a compound of formula IX by acylating the terminal hydroxyl group of the poly(oxyalkylene) moiety with a suitable acylating agent. Acylating agents suitable for use in this reaction include acid halides, such as acid chlorides and bromides; and carboxylic acid anhydrides. Preferred acylating agents include those having the formula: RgC(0)-X, wherein Rg is alkyl having 1 to 30, preferably 4 to 12 carbon atoms, phenyl, aralkyl having 7 to 36 carbon atoms or alkaryl having 7 to 36 carbon atoms, and X is chloro or bromo; and the acid halide derivatives of aromatic carboxylic acid IV described hereinabove. Representative examples of preferred acylating agents having the formula RgC(0)-X include acetyl chloride, propionyl chloride, butanoyl chloride, pivaloyl chloride, octanoyl chloride, decanoyl chloride and the like. Typically, acylation of IX is conducted by contacting IX with about 0.95 to about 1.2 molar equivalents of the > acylating agent in an inert solvent, such as toluene, ich1oromethane, diethyl ether and the like, at a temperature in the range of about 25°C to about 150°C for about 0.5 to about 48 hours. When an acid halide is employed as the acylating agent, the reaction is preferably conducted in the presence of a sufficient amount of an amine capable of neutralizing the acid generated during the reaction, such as triethylamine, di(isopropyl)ethylamine, 6 pyridine or 4-dimethylamino pyridine. A preferred group of poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters of 9 formula X are those having the same aromatic ester group at 0 each end of the poly(oxyalkylene) moiety, i.e., compounds of 1 formula X wherein R 15 is an acyl group having the formula: 9 Q wherein A 2 = A j ; R 7 = R j ,* R 8 = R 2 ; and x and y are the same i integer. 2 3 These compounds may be prepared from a poly(oxyalkylene) 4 diol having the formula: wherein R 3 , R 4 , and n are as defined above, by esterifying each of the hydroxyl groups present in XI with a aromatic carboxylic acid of formula IV or an acyl halide derivative thereof using the above-described synthetic procedures. The poly(oxyalkylene) diols of formula XI are commercially available or may be prepared by conventional procedures, for example, by using sodium or potassium hydroxide in place of the alkoxide or phenoxide metal salt VI in the above-described alkylene oxide polymerization reaction. Fuel Compositions The polyalkyl and poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters of the present invention are useful as additives in hydrocarbon fuels to prevent and control engine deposits, particularly intake valve deposits. Typically, the desired deposit control is achieved by operating an internal combustion engine with a fuel composition containing a polyalkyl or poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic ester of the present invention. The proper concentration of additive necessary to achieve the desired level of deposit control varies depending upon the type of fuel employed, the type of engine, and the presence of other fuel additives. In general, the concentration of the polyalkyl and poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters of this invention in hydrocarbon fuel will range from about 50 to about 2500 parts per million (ppm) by weight, preferably from 75 to 1,000 ppm. When other deposit control additives are present, a lesser amount of the present additive may be used. The polyalkyl and poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters of the present invention may also be formulated as a concentrate using an inert stable oleophilic (i.e., dissolves in gasoline) organic solvent boiling in the range of about 150°F to 400°F (about 65°C to 205°C) . Preferably, an aliphatic or an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent is used, such as benzene, toluene, xylene or higher-boiling aromatics or aromatic thinners. Aliphatic alcohols containing about 3 to 8 carbon atoms, such as isopropanol, isobutylcarbinol, n-butanol and the like, in combination with hydrocarbon solvents are also suitable for use with the present additives. In the concentrate, the amount of the additive will generally range from about 10 to about 70 weight percent, preferably 10 to 50 weight percent, more preferably from 20 to 40 weight percent. in gasoline fuels, other fuel additives may be employed with the additives of the present invention, including, for example, oxygenates, such as t-butyl methyl ether, antiknock agents, such as methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl, and other dispersants/detergents, such as hydrocarbyl amines, hydrocarbyl poly(oxyalkylene) amines, or succinimides. Additionally, antioxidants, metal deactivators and demulsifiers may be present. in diesel fuels, other well-known additives can be employed, such as pour point depressants, flow improvers, cetane improvers, and the like. A fuel-soluble, nonvolatile carrier fluid or oil may also be used with the polyalkyl and poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic esters of this invention. The carrier fluid is a chemically inert hydrocarbon-soluble liquid vehicle which substantially increases the nonvolatile residue (NVR) , or solvent-free liquid fraction of the fuel additive composition while not overwhelmingly contributing to octane requirement increase. The carrier fluid may be a natural or synthetic oil, such as mineral oil, refined petroleum oils, synthetic polyalkanes and alkenes, including hydrogenated and unhydrogenated polyalphaolefins, synthetic polyoxyaIkylene-derived oils, such as those described, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 4,191,537 to Lewis, and polyesters, such as those described, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,756,793 and 5,004,478 to Robinson and Vogel et al., respectively, and in European Patent Application Nos. 356,726 and 382,159, published March 7, 1990 and August 16, 1990, respectively. These carrier fluids are believed to act as a carrier for the fuel additives of the present invention and to assist in removing and retarding deposits. The carrier fluid may also exhibit synergistic deposit control properties when used in combination with a polyalkyl or poly(oxyalkylene) aromatic ester of this invention. The carrier fluids are typically employed in amounts ranging from about 100 to about 5000 ppm by weight of the hydrocarbon fuel, preferably from 400 to 3000 ppm of the fuel. Preferably, the ratio of carrier fluid to deposit control additive will range from about 0.5:1 to about 10:1, more preferably from 1:1 to 4:1, most preferably about 2:1. When employed in a fuel concentrate, carrier fluids will generally be present in amounts ranging from about 20 to about 60 weight percent, preferably from 30 to 50 weight percent.

Example 16 Single-Cylinder Engine Test The test compounds were blended in gasoline and their deposit reducing capacity determined in an ASTM/CFR single-cylinder engine test. A Waukesha CFR single-cylinder engine was used. Each run was carried out for 15 hours, at the end of which time the intake valve was removed, washed with hexane and weighed. The previously determined weight of the clean valve was subtracted from the weight of the value at the end of the run. The differences between the two weights is the weight of the deposit. A lesser amount of deposit indicates a superior additive. The operating conditions of the test were as follows: water jacket temperature 200°F; vacuum of 12 in Hg, air-fuel ratio of 12, ignition spark timing of 40° BTC; engine speed is 1800 rpm; the crankcase oil is a commercial 30W oil. The amount of carbonaceous deposit in milligrams on the intake valves is reported for each of the test compounds in Table I.
